Pasminco Century Project

In 1990, CRA discovered the Century zinc deposit, north-west of Mount Isa. This world class resource
contains 118Mt of ore averaging 10.2 percent zinc, 1.5 percent lead and 35 g/t silver and will be developed by
Pasminco Century Mine Limited (PCML). The Century mine will produce 450,000t of zinc concentrate and 45,000t  of lead concentrate per year for export from the port of Karumba. In May 1997, an agreement between the Waayni, Mingginda, Gkuthaarn and Kukatji peoples, the State and Century Zinc was ratified and the Government obligations under the agreement are being implemented.
